New From Zoom: Digital Interfaces for "U" -- More Info at B&H

Audio News: Zoom Has Long Been Synonymous With Solid and Portable Digital Recording -- Whether Considering the H4n for Podcasting, or the F8 Multitrack for 8-channel Field-Recording; Now, Zoom Is Expanding Into the Digital Interface Market With the U-44 and the U-24, Providing the Same Preamps Highly Regarded in the H5, but With 24-bit/96 Khz Audio Playback!


NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - April 18, 2016) -

B&H Photo is proud to share the announcement of two new products from Zoom:

Zoom U-44 Handy Audio Interface

Providing four inputs and four outputs, the U-44 seeks to be the cornerstone of the mobile recording rig, allowing to connect microphones, instruments, monitors, computers, iPads, and more. One can bus-power the U-44 via USB, but it'll also take two AA batteries in a pinch, and with its 10-pin connector, this interface is compatible with every single capsule in the Zoom Universe -- the X/Y module, the Mid-Side capsule, the Stereo Shotgun -- the U-44 can handle all of them, providing tons of options for recording oneself on the go. With combo TRS/XLR inputs, the aforementioned 10-pin capsule connector, a selectable S/PDIF connection (optical or coaxial), MIDI support, and Hi-Z capability, this interface will handle all one's mobile AD/DA needs with the aplomb of any Zoom Handy recorder. Monitors can be fed through the U-44's TRS or RCA outputs, to be sure, but it can also be used as a headphone amp to pump some much-needed fidelity into dinky-sounding audio devices.

  • Record with Mics, Instruments, and More
  • Fits in the Palm of Your Hand
  • High-Quality, Low-Noise Preamps
  • S/PDIF Optical or Coaxial Input
  • 48V Phantom Power
  • 24-Bit/96 kHz Audio
  • Compatible with iPad

Zoom U-24 Essential Portable Audio Interface

The Zoom U-24 offers almost everything its bigger sibling does: playback and recording at 24-bit/96 kHz, iPad compatibility, bus-powering, AA-battery support, H5-series combo preamps, MIDI ins and outs, Hi-Z capability, multiple monitoring options, and a headphone amp, to boot. No, it doesn't provide the S/PDIF connections or the 10-pin capsule support, but what it does offer is both advantageous and bounteous: all the same low-noise circuitry as the U-44, but in a package that fits in the palm of one's hand. Thus, this unit is perfect for solo singer-songwriters who need to take their rig with them on the road -- they can simply jam the U-24 in their gig bag, plug into it when they feel inspired, and they're good for getting their songs together, wherever they may roam.
